tb gold test :: Article Creator Scientists Develop A TB Test & Find A Genetic Vulnerability In Resistant Strains A rapid diagnostic test for tuberculosis (TB) has been approved for the first time by the World Health Organization (WHO). The assay can identify the tuberculosis-causing pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum samples within a few hours. Tuberculosis is a primary cause of death by infectious disease worldwide. The disease is estimated to kill over one million people every year, and is a huge socio-economic burden, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. "High-quality diagnostic tests are the cornerstone of effective TB care and prevention," said Dr. Rogerio Gaspar, WHO Director for Regulation and Prequalification. "Prequalification paves the way for equitable access to cutting-edge technologies, empowering countries to address the dual burden of TB and drug-resistant TB."  M. Tuberculosis c...

staphylococcus aureus lung infection :: Article Creator What Is MSSA? Medically reviewed by Kashif J. Piracha, MD MSSA is an infection caused by methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The bacteria live on the skin and inside the noses of some people, usually without causing harm. But when the bacteria enter the body through cuts, scrapes, or other open wounds on the skin, an infection can develop. Commonly known as a staph infection, skin infected by MSSA may become red, swollen, and warm. If the bacteria enter the bloodstream, any part of the body can become infected, including bones and vital organs. There are two types of staph aureus infections: MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and MSSA. MRSA refers to infections caused by strains of the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria that are resistant to certain antibiotics and difficult to treat. MSSA, on the other hand, is more easily treatable with antibiotics. This ...

pulmonary arterial hypertension pah :: Article Creator Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Pulmonary hypertension is a life-threatening condition that gets worse over time, but treatments can help your symptoms so you can live better with the disease. It may take some planning, but plenty of people who have it find ways to do all the things they love, just as they did before they were diagnosed. Having pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) means that you have high blood pressure in the arteries that go from your heart to your lungs. It's different from having regular high blood pressure. With PAH, the tiny arteries in your lungs become narrow or blocked. It's harder for blood to flow through them, and that raises the blood pressure in your lungs. Your heart has to work harder to pump blood through those arteries, and after a while the heart muscle gets weak. Eventually, it can lead to heart failure. Sometimes doctors can't find a r...

cough in lungs :: Article Creator 'Alive And Wriggling' Worm Survived In Woman's Body And Brain For At Least A Year A neurosurgeon in Australia pulled a live, three inch-long worm from the brain of a 64-year-old woman in June 2022. The roundworm Ophidascaris robertsi is native to Australia and its larvae were also present in other organs in the patient's body, including the liver and lungs. This is the first known human case of this parasitic infection and it is described in a case study published in the September 2023 issue of the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases. [Related: Rare parasites found in 200 million-year-old reptile poop.] The patient was first admitted to her local hospital in late January 2021 after experiencing three weeks of diarrhea and abdominal pain, followed by dry cough, night sweats, and fever. By June 2022, she was also experiencing forgetfulness and depression, and was referred to Canberra Hospital. Whi...

how contagious is h pylori bacteria :: Article Creator What Is H. Pylori? Infection with the helicobacter pylori bacteria, usually referred to as H. Pylori, is common, affecting almost half of all people in the United States at some point in their lifetime. In most cases, the infection doesn't cause symptoms; however, an H. Pylori infection can cause peptic ulcers in some people. In rare cases, it can contribute to the development of stomach cancer. If you have any signs or symptoms of a peptic ulcer, it's important to see a healthcare provider. Since H. Pylori infections can cause peptic ulcers, treatment involves eliminating the infection with antibiotics and helping the stomach heal with antacids. Treating H. Pylori infections also reduces the risk of developing stomach cancer. Most people with an H. Pylori infection won't have any symptoms. If the infection causes a peptic ulcer, you'll then experience typical ulcer s...

cheese in oil botulism :: Article Creator Make Some Cheese Crisps In Your Microwave Cheese is good in nearly any phase—whether solid, liquid, or what could best be described as a "gel." I haven't encountered cheese in a gaseous state, but if I did, I'd probably like it. (Are Easy Cheese whippets a thing?) Once of my favorite forms of (solid) cheese is the cheese crisp, aka "frico," which is made by heating shredded cheese until it melts, greases out, and hardens into a lacy cracker. It's traditionally made on the store or in the oven (or air fryer), but you can make perfect cheese crisps in the microwave in under two minutes. Treat yourself to a highly rated science oven: The only limiting factor is the size of your microwave. You may not be able to fit a whole sheet pan in there, but you can crank out four at a time at two minutes per batch, all without heating up the house. This is particularly helpful if you...
